New Group Exhibition - River Arts Damriscotta


Time Together - Acrylic on Canvas
Aiden LaSalle
$325.00

The above canvas by Aiden LaSalle will be included in the juried group exhibition at River Arts opening Friday September 21 in Damriscotta.

Aiden has been painting for decades and has paintings in numerous private collections throughout New England.  It's rare for any of his paintings to get by his family and clients but at age 82 he thought he'd try something a little different and enter a juried competition.

Aiden comes from a family of artists.  His father, Edward LaSalle, was an illustrator in the 20's and 30's and he sold his paintings privately throughout the next five decades.  His Uncle, Charles LaSalle and his cousin Aiden Lassell Ripley were highly successful artists who won awards nationally and are still highly collectable artists to this day.   His mother, Vivian LaSalle was a fashion artist for Palmer's Department Store and a portraitist in pastels.

Aiden has also spent a lifetime in and around the woods, studying nature in all its moods, and that authenticity is embedded in all he creates.    

I currently have two other paintings by Aiden for sale.  If you are interested please email me at robert.kahler65@gmail.com
